THE BAKING POWDERS
OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE OHIO
STATE FOOD COMMISSION.
Analyses OF the Ohief Brands OF the Ooun
uy-Their Strength and Value Off
clalIy Ascertsinsd-A Large
Number Impure.

The Ohio State Dairy and Food Com
missioner, General S. q. Hurst, ha!
made public (Circular No. s. the result;
of the Commissions investigation o.
baking powder. This Commission Wa:
formed by the Legislature, with instruc-
tions to make an examination Of the fooC
supply of the State, and to give report
of such examination to the public. The
examination of the baking powders was
made by Professor Fl. A. Weber, State
Chemist, and, relating as it does to en-
| article of daily use in the food Of almost
| every one, is Of particular interest.
| The rather startling fact is brought
out by the report that of the thirty differ
ent brands Of baking powder analysed,
composing about ali those sold in the
| state, twenty OF them are made from
alum, substance declared by he high
est medical authorities to be injurious to
health when used in food.
The Commissioned classifies the baking
powders into three general divisions, &C
cordIng to their value.
1st. Gre m of Tartar Baking Powders !;
81. Phosphate Baking Powders;
Sd. Alum Baking Powders.
The object of baking powders is. when
mixed in the -four and subjected to
moisture, to generate leaveniDg gas in
the dough which will rsse the bread and
cSnse it to be porous and light. The
Commissioner explains that the best bak-
ing powder is that which, the Ingredients
being healthful, gives of the largest
amount of lesveniDg gas and leaves the
smallest amount Of residuum in the bread.
A small amount of carbonate of ammonia
which is considered heaithful-is used
in some of the cream of tartar powders to
give them higher strength. The Com
mission say that pure alum Is undoubt
edlY hurtful salt, and chat the resultant
saltssfrom lis combination with soda as
formed in the bread can scarcely be less
hurtfuE. The report ranks the powders
and shows the amount in each of inert
resultsntS which in using i would appear
as reeiduum in the bread,ss follows:
Fort Worth weekly gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1887-11-18

The insincerlty OF August Spies, the
convicted Chicsgo anarchist, has been
made apparent by his conduct in the affair
With Miss VanZsndt, the infatuated girl,
who wished to marry him. It is con-
tended that If Spies and his band of mis-
creants really wished to benefit mankind,
as they say they do, all worldly passions
snd desires would be thrust aside. Miss
| VanZandt YVES to have inherited $500 900
from rich relative, but as soon as the
latter heard of her iDfstustion she was
disinherited. This, however, made little
difference to the romsntic young womsn;
but she reckoned without her host; the
sheriff who has Spies in charge refused
to let him enter into the marriage
contract. Miss VanZandt thus foiled
Intends spending sometime in
Paris-Where it is to be hoped she will
recover from her pitisble stste and duly
hear Of her betrothaps hanging. August
S pies is the leader CT the Chicago an
srchists. He was born IN Cassel, Ger
many, but came to America with his par
eats, who settled in Chicago. Spies is
thrty-two years of age, and by trade is
saddler, but his sntfpathy to work soon
made him give up working at this and he
tramped through the sou ID and west, re-
turning to Chicago in 1879. Spies had
had little education in Germany, but his
trsmping tour gave him great practical
knowledge, and to this he added study,
becoming proficient in the use of
both the German and English
Languages. When he returned to
Chicago the socialists had just
demonstrated their strength by polling
10000 votes for aust Schmidt, their can
dldate for Mayor. Spies entered politics,
and soon he and his friends gained control
OF the "Arbeiter Zeitung," {. German
daily with moderate communistic tenden-
cies. Spies position on the paper was at
first 8 secondary one, but he continued
his studies, and IN short time was made
editor of the sheet. Herr John Most, the
New York anarchist, visited Chicago
about that time, and he proved the leaven
in the anarchistic dough. Spies st once
embraced the doctrines OF Most, and the
aLOSitOi OOSHlAO y AhNlNoA oh-
archistic sheet. In the same ratio that
it's violence increased the better
class of it's subscribers fell of, and soon
it was read only by the ''riff- ran." Almost
dsily did the paper advocate attacks on
the police, encouraging, nay, advising the
the use of dynamite bombs, the process
for the manufacture Of which it gave In
structions in its columns. When the
eight-hour movement was inaugurated,
Spies WAS in the vaD, and he it was who
made the first speech from the wagon on
the memorable day of the killing of the

THE ANARCHISTS.

The lsst act in the terrible Hsymarket
drama has been concluded by the execu
ton of the four anarchists. Their crime
was great one, and their punishment
has been as severe as it is possible for
,%umsn law to irfict. They have been
| Justly punished under the law, assuming
that their trial and conviction was
fair and just, and the lesson taught
by their fates will doubtless warn
hers to beware of danger and depend
on constitutional means for the redress
Of grievances resulting from oppressive
laws. There are few who do not regret
the stern necessity of taking the lives of
men who, perhaps, had educsted them
selves to believe that the prin-
ciples they advocated were just,
and who were laboring for the ad-
v&ncement of the human family,
in good faith. There Is sort OF SYM
patty felt for them owing to the peculisr
circumstances that surrounded their
cases. It was not proven that any one Of
the condemned were guilty Of throwing
the fatal bomb, or that they were con-
nected with the one who did throw it: IN
fact the real cuIprit is unknown and his
identity has never yet been discovered.
The condemned were executed for
melting by incendiary speeches
and publications others to vic
late the laws and commit murder
It is unwise to test how far American
liberty of speech extends, because if the
experimenter ventures too far he will
have to suffer the consequences OF his
rsshness, be those consequences what
they may. The execution OF these GRIM
inals will have one salutary effect. It is
the death knell to anarchy in this country.
Those violent apostles Of destruction will
see that their theories are not palstable
and are uuHelcome to the people
of this country. The argument Of
brute force will no longer be believed
IN b. deluded and ignorant men, and the
INSCRIPTIONS sgitator will know that If he
lesds his blind followers too far that he
will be punished for it. The theory that
these men "will preach more eloquently
dead than living" is not tenaole. LIST
them preach if they will, but they cannot
preach away the laws of the country, and
il the anarchists should attempt retalia-
ton the people of this country who re
spect law ard order would crush them
beneath their feet. The rights of
the people should be jealousy
guarded and protected. No unnecessary
interference should be tolerated, and no
attempt at abridging their rights per-
mitted. On the other hand, the law of
the land is supreme, and obedience to it
should be enforced at all hazards. If our
lsws are defective, it Is in our power, and
within our province TO remedy the defect
DescesblY.
